[Update]: Thanks everyone for answering and caring. I wasn't expecting this reaction at all.

While I got over the panick attack quickly I really appreciated all the comfort and info you provided. <3

At the end of the day I only got a slightly worse headache and rebound effect but that was to be expected. It's been barely three weeks since I've got started with medication and next Monday I have a follow-up meeting with my doctor.

I noted everything up with the rest of my experiences just in case it's useful since I think it might be working better… xD

Anyway, thank you all again. (:

[END of Update]

I'm on Elvanse (lisdexanfetamin) 30mg I just took two pills instead of one by mistake.

I'm quite sure I wasn't noticing anything with 30mg but now I fear an overdose or some shit.

Tho here if 30mg is not enough they jump you to 50mg which is not far from 60mg…

The thing is that I'm scared and don't know what I should do.

You'll almost certainly be alright, keep track of your status and call a nurse/teladoc to see if you need medical assistance. The most important thing is you stay calm and don't let your panic take over.

Here is some online information I found, I can't tell you how accurate it will be for you, but it seems that a max dosage is at least 70mg, and if I'm reading it correctly, that's for pediatric cases.

I'm keeping track of the symptoms anyway since this is my first month on medication.

But thank you very much for the reassurance, I almost lost my shit thinking I could be done for a mistake like that.

Just had breakfast and much more calm. I also informed a few people irl just in case.
